Please arrange to skype your partner at a convenient time for both of you. e. During your Skype call(s) discuss how you might use audio for teaching, 5—14 min. One person records using Screencast f. For a second Skype dialogue you can do this after the first or arrange to speak at a different time. This discussion will be about diversity in the/your classroom. What has your experience been? What do you think of current policies about diversity in the classroom, 5—14 min. You can look for articles or your school's diversity policies to add to your conversation. g.
